Sorry I'm late coming in on this thread, but I thought I'd add my 
"four-penneth" on this thread as Golden Syrup is something I grew up with in 
Britain.  

I am sure more than one company must make it, but the most famous brand is 
"Tate and Lyle" (same company that makes all sorts of sugars over there).  
Yes, Golden Syrup comes in a green can (shaped like a small paint pot for 
those of you trying to find it), and on the front of the can is a picture of 
a lion lying down with (I think) some bees buzzing around him, and the saying 
"Out of strength comes sweetness" (IIRC) written beneath.  

I do not know if it is a cane sugar product so I'll take the list members 
word on that, but it is a light golden clear syrup, not at all like honey in 
taste, and not as thick or opaque as treacle is.  I could see using it on 
pancakes, but the taste isn't as rich as maple, so I wouldn't substitute 
maple syrup for it in a recipe, as the maple would alter the taste of the 
dish from what was intended.
